    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I had the tug on the road for about two months. She did pretty well on fuel, decent amount of power on the road but she is not sporting a LS1 so you have to keep that in mind. I would do some things differently now (gas hole is one spot giving me headaches) after running into some slight...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I had some wiring issues kicking my arse. Ended up being bad grounds. Still have a brake warning light on all the time and no speedo. The trans is weaker than I like but she runs out okay. The Scout pan is a great idea but the Scout pick up tube does not work on a Jeep oil pump! Several...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    Thanks! I will get it outside and get some better photos this week. Flying into Osan but will be stationed Seoul at Yongsan. I have not been to Korea since 1995! Should be fun!

    Some new pics. I have some wiring issues to nail down and am waiting on the interior to come back from the shop. Insurance kicks in this evening and I should have most everything done tomorrow night.

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    My tug should be on the road Monday evening pending a shift kit, seat belts, seats and headliner. I put the bed liner in the cab last night, painted the rest of the inside of the cab today, bed is getting paint as I type this. Heading over tomorrow to install the bed, rear bumper, roof panel...

    Looks good. I found a complete Scout SD33T truck with trans and t-case in it. The engine just needs an injector pump.

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    This is an old thread that needs some air. My tug is coming along. We should have it painted by the end of the month. Tilt column added, swapped the steering wheel for a Pontiac custom sport wheel, Slapped the 2500 series wheels on it, Dana 70 removed and a 4.10 14 bolt with Gov Loc...

    I have it someplace. PM me your email address and I will send it. It will cost you less to find a Jeep 208 than it will to buy the parts to make yours a 208. When I did my first one I picked up a Jeep 208 for $100.

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    Here is a link to my site with my CJ-10a project. I owe it some updates but things are rolling along. It is rolling but have some things to overcome. My Dana 30 twin sticks need some modification so they do not hit the floor pan. The oil pan was raised as an issue as I am using a passenger...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    One, two, three.......three. Now I am changing my mind on the rear springs. Was doing to axle over but after finding some front spring hangers and doing some measuring I believe I am going to keep the rear springs outboard on the rear frame. K5 and CJ10 fronts are about 45" long. Leaving...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    Here is one: Gear Calculator Some neat tools on it. Tire size, gear ratios, etc. The 285/75/16 I'll be running, basically shy of 33", should produce shy of 2300 rpm at 55 with a 4.10 gear. 3.73 will grab shy of 2100 rpm. At what RPM does a SD33 implode?

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    The Jeep 208 will bolt right up. They seem to be hard to find though. A Dana 300 will bolt up but you'll need a passenger drop front axle. As for the axle, spring perch location is a concern and those heavy a55 flat springs are an issue. You can flip them to get the rear further back but...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    D70 is out, 14 bolt has the locker in it now and is ready to have spring perches and shock mounts removed. D300 ready to take the place of the NP198. I should have the springs installed this weekend and rear axle in by next week. One it and the 300 are in I'll be able to get the drive shaft...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    If the tub is there you could get $1,000 for it. Doors and roof are CJ10 only and hard to find. Fenders and grill same drill but can be used on a regular CJ. The engine and trans would be worth something if cheap enough. IHC boys like the SD33s! Hood is regular CJ and worth $100 to the...

    What is left? I'd be down for the wiring if I could talk you into grabbing it for me.

    Did you narrow the bed at all?

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    This current tug is kicking my butt. Neutral Safety Switch issues, wiring harness is a mess, won't start at the key, and of course no wiring schematice to go by. Glow plug circuit does not work, had air in the fuel system. I received my BB MOPAR scattershield. Once I get the axles done and...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    I am using the seats that are in it. The beast has HMMWV muckets in it. The plan is to get the MOPAR bell and get it mated up to the SD33, check clearances, distances, etc, then see what needs to be don to make the T-176 work. We whould be able to just line things up and make some new holes...

    CJ10a Flightline Tug --> 4wd Pickup Truck

    UNless I can find a cheap engine comlete I am just going to leave it NA. I do want to try a SVO conversion on it. My intent is to use a T176 with the Dana 300 behind it. It will depend on how the bellhousing works out.
